JoeP Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I did my shopping in Morrisons Hillsborough as usual yesterday morning, and on chatting with the checkout opertator was told that Friday had been dreadful - queues down teh aisle, like at Christmas. Yestarday wasn't bad at all. I've noticed this now whenever we have a Bank Holiday or there's even a sniff of bad weather - I honestly think people panic too easily. I reckon part of it goes back to the Millenium Bug nonsense and the Fuel shortage fears some years ago. Ridiculous behaviour. I'd love to hear from anyone on here who DOES shop like WW3 is coming when the shops are closed for 1 or 2 days at most, and ask them just how much of what they buy gets easten and how much gets wasted?

Should they not have oredered a bit extra? Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should they not have oredered a bit extra? Just a thought Oh my God, I wish you could see the local co op, it often looks like it's been burgled, and that's not even holiday season! Their ordering system is pathetic.We have been to consumer meetings to try and explain to the management that it makes sense to order more when there are events on in the village, or at holiday season.They always say they'll do it, and never do!! On the plus side, you can always buy a beach ball or a birthday card, but I find they don't toast as well as bread!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
